The name Quinquagesima originates from Latin quinquagesimus ( fiftieth ), referring to the fifty days before Easter Day using inclusive counting which counts both Sundays ( normal counting would count only one of these ).

Septuagesima comes from the Latin word for " seventieth " with Sexagesima and Quinquagesima equalling " sixtieth " and " fiftieth " respectively.

Quinquagesima Sunday is indeed the fiftieth day before Easter ( counting inclusively ), but the numbers indicated by the names " Sexagesima " and " Septuagesima " do not correspond to the interval between these Sundays and Easter.

The name " Sexagesima " is derived from the Latin sexagesimus, meaning " sixtieth ," and appears to be a back-formation of Quinquagesima, the term formerly used to denote the last Sunday before Lent ( the latter name alluding to the fact that there are fifty days between that Sunday and Easter, if one counts both days themselves in the total ).

While Quinquagesima ( 50th day ) is mathematically correct ( allowing for the inclusive counting ), Sexagesima and Septuagesima are only approximations ( the exact number of days is 57 and 64 respectively ).

However, like Quinquagesima, Sexagesima and Septuagesima, the numeral is more likely an approximation of how many days there are until Easter Sunday, in this case 42.
